a beautiful day, when we touch down
rent a car to get around
I remember the roads, but not the way
the GPS will this display
a 40 minute drive, that doesn't change
too much traffic is in the way
we arrive just after dark
and there it is, the lasting spark
they look different, but so do I
family and friends, my old allies
we hug real tight and kiss the air
and I am happy, I am here
my Midwest haunts, from years ago
bring happiness from times I've known
a short little visit that revives my soul
lasting forever after I get home
